I am very impressed with the way you weathered the destroyed tank. I am flabergasted at how you painted the figure's face!!! Just amazing work!

Pinna ;

 Tanker -  Builder is what my modeling friends call me . Because mostly I build all types of Oil , Beer and Fluid tank Ships . I am usually called " Doc " but don't use it among model building friends , because I have to explain . You don't want me to do that do you ? Nah , T.B. Or Tanker - Builder is okay with me .

hello to all fans, we have come to the end of my umpteenth effort, the figure, a desert rat 8Th armed and 'complete and has been placed inside the diorama with the expression of the victorious and proudly looks at the abandoned Panzer III ... defeated ..... the model was brought to the International Model Show of Savona in Italy and to my surprise it was rewarded with an GOLD reward and a Best of the Africa campaign, which add more. ... I am very happy that I liked it and the prize believe me was really unexpected. a warm greeting to all and good modeling ciao il Pinna

Do you want to share it?  Researchers including myself have studied these Tunisian Tigers in great detail. I may be able to tell you where the photo was taken, or tell you something about the tank, etc.

I have a print of a picture taken by my father in law, USAAF in Tunisia of a knocked out tiger labeled "jerry tank".'

Pinna-  First thing, GREAT WORK!!  I love the weathering you did.

Im lovong your work.

What's the idea behind the diaroma.

Did it slide into the dirt bank or is it in a protected fighting position?
